as our descent back into the Middle Ages continues
A place for the discussion of all things not closely related to the sport and its competitive side. (as always, locked for the duration of major international championship)
I don't think the leap people are having difficulty making is from immune system to cancer so much as "vaccines ---> decreased immune system."
I understand the appeal of trying to have your body "build" its own defenses from the ground up. But a lot of the time it can't do that right off the bat (as evidenced by countless epidemic and endemic infections that have been wiped out/severely reduced in the industrialized nations).
If you get hit with a bug your body has never seen, you can have a "strong immune system" but still be completely blindsided by said bug. Now, if you've been inoculated against it, you've already armed yourself.
Consider the difference between passive and active immunity. Both have their place, but much/most of what immunizations do is confer active immunity, which is akin to teaching a man how to fish BEFORE he begins to starve to death.

The major medical principle you don't appear to understand here is that if it were just about YOU, then your stance would be fine. But if you catch it (or even if you don't; you can always be a carrier without being symptomatic), you then risk passing it on to other people, and if they're "rugged individualists" like you, then the whole thing snowballs.
I see this as a matter of social responsibility, not individual choice. That's the bottom line.
Particularly with a serious disease, not a take-two-aspirin-and-call-me-in-the-morning one.
Perhaps it's better to think of your immune system like your cardiovscular system. When you exercise, you tax your cardiovscular system, and in the process it becomes stronger and more efficient. Similarly, when you get sick your immune system is kicked into action, repelling the invading organism, also becoming stronger in the process. When humans turn to vaccines to prevent disease, and drugs to fight it's effects, it's much like riding a bike for exercise, but tying a rope to a car in front.
As I said, I'm not dismissing vaccines or drug therapy when it comes to life threatening ailments, or certain high risk groups. But aside from those circumstances, you're better off just risking being sick for a few days when you consider the long term benefits of a vibrant immune system.
I disagree. Your analogy really only works if all we're doing is injecting IgG into people.
I DO consider the long term benefits of a vibrant immune system. That's why I get vaccinated.
Actually, E. Garry, osteopaths are now fairly close to Western doctors. Many of them do standard residencies after they finish osteopathic college. I'm interviewing a guy tomorrow for a job who did an orthopaedic residency after osteopathy school.
We think you should get the vaccine if/when it becomes available. To not do so is playing with fire. Read about the 1918 Spanish flu pandemic sometime, if you don't think so. I certainly will get it, and fortunately, medical professionals are supposed to be first on the list to get it, so we can be around treat the victims of it. Having said that, and DrJay and pego can address this better than I, but the swine flu seems to be spreading a lot but not really killing as many as was postulated. (I know, I know, somebody will send me a link to somebody in Texas or Aqua Caliente who died - but a lot of people die from standard flu and that is never reported.)
That is precisely my take on this. Discussions such as this (and on many other subjects as well) illustrate fairly clearly that our sense of the collective social fabric, of our social responsibility to each other, is tenuous at best--much more tenuous than it was in previous generations. Some might see that as a triumph of individual freedom, but there is a much darker and (ultimately) more destructive side to it.
It's clear we are not going to see eye to eye on this Bison. I respect your stance, but respectfully disagree.
All I know is my personal experience, having never been vaccinated beyond the early childhood regimen. Working around high school kids every day in Ohio winters I get sick maybe once every 3 or 4 years, and never take any medication during the illness. At 42 I plan to stick with what's worked.
Do youz guys think people should have a choice or should there be jail time for non-conformance?
People clearly have all the choice in the world right now. We're simply commenting on the choices they make.
Are you in favor of jail time? Hanging in the public square?
No, im pro choice doncha know!
Med student Bison can give you a better scientific answer than I, but since I took graduate-level immunology lo those many years ago, let me give you a really simple explanation of how this whole thing works.
You get a viral (or bacterial) infection and your immune system, hopefully, says, "holy shit, foreign proteinaceous body alert!" And it begins to build antibodies which bind to the surface of the offending particle and neutralize it.
In vacctionation, you're given some form of the same bacteria/virus, but one that has been modified so it doesn't cause the disease. Your immune system says, "holy shit, foreign proteinaceous body alertl" And it beings to build...... exactly the same process.
How does this prevent a "vibrant" immune system?
No, I won't trust you guru. Don't get mad at me ( again ! ) but I think the shots should be taken.
I think the problem here is that when people read immune suppression it is interpreted, and marketed by naturopaths, as meaning "significantly" weakened. Personally, I doubt that is the case.
Let's see. Where should I get my medical advice. Oh, I know, I'll go to a track and field site and listen to advice from some guy with no formal relevant medical training who refuses to wear a helmet when riding a bike. Thanks for the tips, dude!
Gosh, that would be as silly as letting some T&F dodo explain to me why California is so effed up!
In an attempt to not come off flippant and condescending to guru, I will concede that there is evidence suggesting that growing up in areas that are traditionally "dirty" (a very loose definition, but think farms/rural areas) tends to confer a more favorable response in later years as far as allergies go (for fellow nerds following along at home, think Th1 CD4 dominated immune response vs. Th2 . . . same principle behind tuberculoid vs. lepromatous leprosy).
Basically, people who are exposed to more "dirt" (and again, I don't know if this has been formally defined somewhere, so I apologize) at a young age do tend to have fewer allergic responses to environmental allergens.
But as far as any type of bacterial/fungal/viral pathogens, I maintain my stance with regards to immunizations.
Allow me to restate the first line of my paragraph, with slightly larger font since they say eyesight is often the first to go in advanced age -
All I know is my personal experience
Noted and respected; however, this is the problem that underlies the bigger issue: many people take this stance, and as explained earlier, if someone has never seen a measles epidemic, as far as they're concerned that disease doesn't exist.
So why immunize?
[Answer: because in the first half of 2008 there were 64 deaths due to measles in the US, 63 of whom were not vaccinated against it]
I understand your stance pertains more to adult vaccinations, but the principle is essentially the same. It's just much much more worrisome when people adopt your stance in regards to childhood vaccinations.
And by the way Mr. Hammy, I do have two years of pre-med college, and currently own a business in the medical field(admittedly not in the field of immunology, but I'm also not an uninformed "some guy" when it comes to things medical).
Guru, That's like saying I haven't had car insurance for thirty years and have never had an accident so haven't needed car insurance so won't purchase any now.
Something like 36,000 people die of influenza-related complications each year in this country. The majority of those are elderly and/or have chronic problems like congestive heart failure, emphysema, etc. Those folks ceratainly should have an influenza vaccine. Younger healthy adults? May not be so important, and I don't know if any data exists proving "herd immunity" with the flu vaccine, i.e. guru gets the vaccine so I'm less likely to get influenza because there will be fewer cases out there.
Well put. You are a smart guy.
My doctor....who is one of my partners....is a D.O. We have a lot of them in the Springs and they are as good as the M.D.s . Not many of them do manipulations (or whatever they call it) anymore. Their training is just about like that of M.D.s
Hey, it's Jump On Guru time !
You "know by personal experience." ???? Is your one life case a valid statistical sample ? If one man has smoked like a chimney and never gotten cancer, does he know from personal experience that smoking should not be discouraged for others ??
And if I am wrong I apologize, but ( as alluded by someone else above ) are you the one who, a few years ago, stated that you refuse to wear a bike helmet, because you "know how to fall ?? " But then again if you have ridden a bike all these years, without a helmet, and have never fallen ( plus you know how to fall ) then do you recommend to others that they also should not/do not need to wear helmets ? So I repeat, are YOU a valid statistical sample for anything ???
I don't know how this fits in here but I want to cast a vote for bicycle helmets.
I rode bikes for seventy years without acknowledging the need for helmets.
Three years ago, when my bum knee ended my jogging, so I could continue to exercise, my kids gave me, as an final combination Cristmas/birthday present, a 2 oz. road bike with about 56 gears, with the provision that I was to wear the accessory helmet.
This bike is capable of heretofore impossible speeds. On virtually my maiden outing, I was forced into a curb by a yard truck and took a header in an instant. I did not have time to think about "how to fall". Fortunately, I landed on a lush, manicured lawn, whacking my head HARD and suffering numerous bruises and abrasions. The bike was not damaged but I was. I managed to remount and ride the three miles home before rigor mortis set in. I was "stove up" for a week with a pulled groin and rib ouch.
The moral of this essay is: There has not be a reoccurence of this accident but if I had not been wearing a helmet for the (nearly) first time in my life, I might not have walked away.
And that's exactly what I said earlier in this thread.
Steve, a couple of things -
First, what does whether or not I wear a bike helmet have to do with the subject at hand? Perhaps we could also discuss the color of my shirt or how many pockets my cargo shorts have to determine the validity of my posts.
Second, I've stated some things in this thread you may not agree with. That's fine. But unlike Bisonhurdler you and Mr. Hammy decided to take the low road so I have no interest in discussing the topic with you as I did with Bison. If you have some personal issue with me that's bothering you feel free to PM me your email and we'll discuss that off the board.
From the data that I have been tracking it seems that the current H1N1 strain has a fatality rate similar to that of the seasonal flu. However, the years of life lost prematurely is much higher because instead of primarily being the death of old people who might have lived 1-10 years on average, many deaths are in young people that might live an order of magnitude longer.
Guru: What if you catch the disease and pass it on before becoming symptomatic and one of the persons that you pass it to dies?
The current variant of H1N1 is not particularly deadly but some strains of influenza in this family have been devastatingly deadly (e.g., 1918; which had a first round that was not very deadly but then evolved over the summer/fall (flu season in the southern hemisphere) into a very deadly disease.
The current H1N1 variant appears to be very transmissible; seemingly more so than the standard seasonal flu, but I am not sure (The Dells school district started having kids out and several days later had more than 200 out and closed all the schools because that were at about 40% infected.
By way of note, my wife is in the Industrial Engineering department at Wisconsin and works for DHS on risk and terrorism strategy issues. She has also done some pandemic planning work for the state. We will all get the H1N1 vaccines. We are not particularly concerned about the seasonal flu (normally get vaccine) but in the southern hemisphere the H1N1 strain so super-dominant (98% or more of all flu cases).
OK, I'l admit I never quite understood the difference between an osteopath and a chiropractor, so I just looked it up and stumbled across this little snopes-like item:
http://quackfiles.blogspot.com/2004/11/ ... ittle.html
Plain and simple, Osteopaths these days are, for all intents and purposes, MDs with different letters after their names. The have the same curriculum as Allopathic (MD) students, with some extra "Osteopathic Musculoskeletal Manipulation" training added on top of it.
Some of the manipulation and such is pretty useful for musculoskeletal issues. Fewer and fewer are bothering with it for anything else (traditionally, Osteopathy has maintained that MSK adjustments could cure just about anything, similar to chiropractors).
They take the MCAT to get into Osteopathic medical schools (although the standards tend to be lower . . . I won't go into GPAs/MCAT scores that will mean little for most people here, but suffice it to say that the average GPA/MCAT score for an accepted MD student would put you at the very top of most DO schools), and they take similar licensing exams. In fact, most Allopathic (MD) residencies are open to DO students as long as they take the USMLE (the MD licensing exams) in addition to the DO's homologue, the COMLEX.
Anyway, sorry for the alphabet soup. The short and long of it is: Osteopaths are essentially on equal footing with MDs in most cases.
Peace and love, guru, peace and love.
Someone else brought up the bike business, not me. But your justifications for both the bike business and the vaccine business have the same rationale ( your personal experience.) That is the only reason I brought it up. I did not intend to be abrasive, or take a "low road", and if you have perceived such, I think you are mistaken, but since your perception becomes your reality, I apologize.
I repeat: peace and love, peace and live. I mean it.
Since I agreed with guru earlier, I will come to his defense a little by saying that I also did not receive a vaccine for bird flu. I somehow survived that pandemic. I'll take my chances with this pandemic. I kind of ignore the media when they repeatedly claim that the sky is falling. We've somehow survived the previous fifteen media created end of the world scenarios, I'm sure we'll get through this one.
Whether or not swine flu is media-frenzy is irrelevant, and not why I started the thread. I'm dismayed (beyond belief) that so many educated people would take a stance which flies in the face of public-health common sense.
(FWIW, my university training was in bacteriology & public health)
Picking and choosing which things you think are worth getting protected against has it backwards. You should be thinking about what the consequences are for those around you as much as yourself. Pro bono publico
That is referred to as anecdotal evidence, totally useless. It's like saying cancer of the lung is not caused by smoking, because I smoked 50 years and never got it.
Your education and business makes your stand on this issue even more bizzarre.
I'll just agree to disagree. For whatever wikipedia is worth, here is a quote from their influenza page:
How many people last year had a flu vaccine and then got swine flu?
If it looked like flu could be eradicated like small pox, I would most likely get vaccinated. That doesn't look likely. As I see it, if I don't get a flu vaccine, I may get the flu. I'll probably survive. If I get a flu vaccine, I may get the flu. I'll probably survive. If I were in a high risk category, my attitude would be different. I've assessed the risks, and chosen accordingly. You've done the same. I'm not dismayed by your choice, but you are of mine. So be it.
This is most likely my last post on this thread.
I hope you never go to Vegas with that kind of understanding of how the odds work.
I know a few people who have had the flu in the past few years who were formerly of the "No flu shot for me man, ain't no way ain't no how" mindset. Then they got the flu.
Now that's their first priority when Autumn rolls around.
We're essentially required to get both the standard Influenza Vaccine as well as the H1N1 Vaccine at school.

Does anyone else think that the 2 gig nano is a stopgap until prices for flash memory fall to allow a reprisal of the 4 and 6 gig price levels?
I get the feeling Apple doesn't think that is going to happen before Christmas.
Posted by Popjunkie in Singapore on September 12, 2005 at 1:20 AM (PDT)
Style over substance? The Nano is better than the Mini for several reasons:
-No delicate internal hard drive, its flash memory like the shuffle which means it will sustain a significant drop even without aluminum. Far more durable for sports, gym, etc.
-Wafer thin and shorter to fit in a pocket next to that wallet full of business cards. Who would wear that lame-### band aid armband anyway . . . well maybe if it was black.
-Ah the novelty of a color screen. . .
-No annoying easter egg color scheme! Black is back.
The fact that there is less capacity doesn't bother me. I have a 40 GB with 4900 songs (32 GB) and really only listen to around 500-600 anyway. I'd rather look at a color screen with album art or wacky photos, and walk the streets without an armored brick in my pocket. My only potential gripes are the strange headphone jack location and lack of firewire support, but USB 2.0 transfers almost just as fast.

Yes, I agree with the previous poster - you're way too hard on this fabulous product. Have you just bought a load of iPod Minis? I would not have been seen dead with a gaudy, cheap-looking iPod Mini but this is pure class.
Oh, and flash is the way forward, clearly. The hard disk will die out in music players in a couple of years.
Posted by andrewthomas10 on September 12, 2005 at 3:52 AM (PDT)
Sure, the Nano is thin, but is it *too* thin?!
Posted by Pete Cashmore on September 12, 2005 at 6:01 AM (PDT)
I also agree with mightypixels... I bought the Nano the next day because it is exactly what I need the gym and travelling. I have a 60G iPod photo and it is small enough but still too big for my pocket. I have loads of operas and long pieces saved on it. It is now permanently docked on my iHome clock .
The iPod photo is just not small enough for the gym for me, so iPod Nano is a godsent device for me.
My "Photo" is white... My "Nano" is black.. how cool is that LOL.
I like Black... if people wants colour they can always accessorize it LOL.
I LOVE MY iPod Photo and Nano.. Mr Jobs' gamble has certainly won my heart:)
p.s. a special Ferari Red Nano will be Kool!
Posted by floridante2k on September 12, 2005 at 7:03 AM (PDT)
As we said, for second-time iPod buyers, this device is an A-. Not preferable to owning a full-sized iPod, but a close second. Your comments confirm the accuracy of this statement.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on September 12, 2005 at 8:48 AM (PDT)
I thought the review was excellent. Hopefully Apple will expand the Nano's line to include more colors (I agree, Ferrari Red would be great) and larger capacity flash drives before Christmas.
Posted by mightypixel on September 12, 2005 at 12:07 PM (PDT)
Have you done any tests on speed of transferring songs to the nano with USB 1.(whatever)? And I'm surprised you haven't made more of the fact of Apple dropping support for firewire syncing. Is this a trend? Will future full-sized iPods also drop this feature? Am I the only iPod worshiper that is completely peeved at this change?
Posted by alexarch in Dallas, TX on September 12, 2005 at 1:30 PM (PDT)
like everyone else, I love it too, but at the moment I'm starting to look for something else to help manage my music from my ipod and other devices, so I found a couple of new music servers, one is the phillips wacs 700, http://www.streamium.com/index.cfm , the other is the olive symphony , http://www.olive.us, and I was wondering if you guys have some feedback on these?
Posted by email@example.com on September 12, 2005 at 1:48 PM (PDT)
Word on the street, well a guy at the apple store, is that you can put that universal adapter on any dock and have it function with the nano?
Posted by M Bargo in Chicago, IL on September 12, 2005 at 2:27 PM (PDT)
I'm pleased to see the Nano offered in black, and yes a red does sound quite sharp too, but I'm sad to see the Mini go. I'll miss that solid lump of bored-out aluminum, cool to the touch, and so very reassuring. I wasn't a personal fan of the Mini colors, but many were, and they are beautiful in their own right. However with the move to flash-based memory, and after surviving (for the most part) the thrashing Ars Technica put it through, and of course a color screen, I feel Apple has designed a rugged product with a great overall look and user-friendly feel to it.
I expect a bump to 6 gigs some time in February or so, do you agree?
Posted by pleasurepaul on September 12, 2005 at 3:30 PM (PDT)
By the way, I've experienced similiar, but not the same issues many have had with iTunes 5 causing havoc with the iTunes Library and playlists. I keep getting a message "Importing iTunes Playlist" (or close to that) followed by a notice my iTunes library seems to be damaged, and will save it and mark it as such. I've been adamant about backing up my iTunes Library often so I've saved myself some major headaches.I look forward to Apple issuing a fix soon. And hopefully a software upgrade to allow a code lock, stopwatch, and multi clocks for the full-sized iPods like they have with the Nano.
Posted by pleasurepaul on September 12, 2005 at 3:38 PM (PDT)
If you're worried about the nano's durability, don't be. Ars Technica sat on it, dropped it from waist height, from moving bikes and cars, *drove over it twice*, and only managed to kill it once and for all by tossing it 40 feet in the air and letting it drop onto solid concrete--after all the other punishment. Even getting dropped out the window of a car going 50 mph didn't faze it, and the display only started crapping out after the first 10 foot drop onto concrete. Yeah, it might get some scrapes and fingerprints on it in normal use, but it looks like it will keep working.

i just dont get you guys approach to your reviews. it always feels as though you force your cons out to seem like you are giving an unbiased review. it would seem that, according to your cons, you wish that this player was compatable with all of the older accesories on the market. it appears to me that apple has openly admited to taking a bold new step with this design and it would seem that it was for the better. i see this as a challenge for the accesories market and i am exited to see what various comanies come up with. the older accesories are not left to waste simply because of the huge huge amount of players and users out there with full sized ipods or ipod minis and that market will continue to hold steady for a good while.
at any rate, do you know what i mean about the whole positive negative thing? why is it that it always feels as though you dont really weigh in all to logically on various aspects of the negative points of your reviews?
Posted by t_sun on September 12, 2005 at 6:29 PM (PDT)
There are two approaches we could take with product reviews - generally subjective ("go buy this thing now, we say you need it") or objective ("here are the facts about this product, and our opinions; we trust you to form your own"). We are frankly put off by reviews that try to tell us what we do and do not need - they're generally motivated by a desire to sell something, and we are not salesmen - we're journalists. Our goal is to make available the best possible information about iPods and accessories for a large, very diverse, and (ahem) demanding base of readers, so that they can make smart choices for themselves.
Our approach has consequences. A complete disclosure of the pros and cons of any product takes more time than a sales pitch that focuses only on the reasons you should buy something. And the process necessarily involves mentioning factors of various levels of importance. We trust that our readers are intelligent enough to assign their own weights to the factors we've pointed out. But of course, we offer our own opinions in the complete review.
Regarding accessory compatibility specifically, we went over this issue in "iPod nano: What's Inside?" and specifically said that we didn't like the change, and why. If you're looking for us to make a more definitive positive statement such as, "even though they got rid of all of those accessories, someone will surely make more," there's a reason we're not doing that: it hasn't happened, or been promised by anyone yet.
The number of third-party replacement top-mounting accessories that have specifically been announced to date is zero. Because of Apple's choice to go with a smaller battery and enclosure, there are still major unresolved issues as to how some of these devices will mount and be powered. Similarly, the company's apparently deliberate decision not to permit some of them to work at all regardless of re-engineering (voice recorders, for instance) can't be viewed as a net positive under any circumstances, unless the decision is reversed. The iPod nano is already one of the only 4GB music players not to include voice or other recording capabilities out of the box (say nothing of FM radio), so reducing support for existing, excellent devices strikes us as a disadvantage.
Some people care about these things, and our reviews point the issues out for them. Some people don't, and they can always skip to the next sentence, paragraph, or article.
Posted by Jeremy Horwitz in East Amherst, NY, USA on September 12, 2005 at 7:35 PM (PDT)
This is what I have been waiting for. I have a 20 gig that I bought back in June and it has been great around campus or in my car but I have been scared to take it to the gym for fear of messing up the hard drive. I thought about a shuffel but the lack of a screen kept me from doing buying one. The nano looks to be perfect for anyone who wants an ipod at the gym or on the trail.
Posted by riverrat314 on September 12, 2005 at 10:10 PM (PDT)
No, you can't use the dock adapter in old docks... but you don't have to: the nano sits in old docks WITHOUT an adapter.
The adapter is for FUTURE 3rd-party products. Expect ALL iPods to come with adapters in future. Then 3rd-party accessory makers can easily make universal products that fit all iPods perfectly.
The Ars review counted the dock adapter as a "con"... why? It's not useful yet, but it's a great idea in the long run.
Posted by Nagromme on September 12, 2005 at 11:23 PM (PDT)
i'd go for an 8 gig one- any idea when that might happen?
Posted by qsack on September 13, 2005 at 12:00 AM (PDT)
Regarding the "smaller capacity for the same money" gripes: the 6GB mini was not selling hardly at all - the 4GB model was the popular one. Clearly, no one needed 6GB. They either spent a bit more and went for 20, or just got a 4GB mini. Therefore, a 4 and 6GB nano would mean the 6GB model would not sell, and be a waste to make. Given that the nano is more expensive to make for the same capacity, they went with 2 and 4GB to give the same price range. However, some of the 4GB mini sales were probably due to it being below $200 rather than people not needing 6GB, so the 2GB nano might be the bigger seller in the long term unless most really need more than 2GB.

Here is a picture taken sunday (4/17) morning by my mother Helen Schwietert of someone going over the flooded road on their way back from Essmann/Abel Islands. My mom went to check on our home on Essmann Island and found the road had been closed. Thankfully, our house is several feet above the crest level.
I have also included a few photos that my mother took from a look-out on highway 52, over looking the island on Sunday Morning. Here you can see the southern portion of Abel Island, underwater.
Just thought these might be interesting to look at. Please feel free to use them if you want.

SlimLipo™ Laser-assisted Liposuction
SlimLipo™ (also called LifeSculpt) from Palomar, uses a new laser technology that provides a less invasive procedure for fat reduction than traditional liposuction. Using a special patented laser wavelength administered through several tiny incisions, the SlimLipo procedure gently melts fat for removal from your body — with smaller scars, less bleeding, less post-treatment healing and shorter recovery time.
SlimLipo uses the SLIM laser platform. SLIM stands for "Selective Laser-Induced Melting," and the procedure commonly takes less than an hour for a given area. It is effective for fat reduction for body areas of the abdomin, hip and thigh, arm, face and neck.

Saturday was a good day for local horse racing fans at Retama Park.
Park officials say four lucky gamblers cashed in on this year's Kentucky Derby.
Those winning tickets paid out more than $48,000 each on $1 superfecta tickets for the derby which was won by "I'll Have Another."
That was part of a record breaking day at Retama Park.
Officials say the park posted a new simulcast wagering record just shy of $1.1 million.

Durham >Restaurants >
Pizza >Mellow Mushroom
410 Blackwell St Ste 100, Durham, NC | Directions 2770135.991800 -78.905427
Mon. - Sat. 11am - 10pm;Sun. 4pm - 9pm
Neighborhoods: Downtown, Bull Durham
They burn the crust on the pizza – We love the Mellow Mushroom on Glenwood in Raleigh and were happy to have one closer to us. The first time we tried pizza at this restaurant, they burned the crust. OK everyone deserves a second chance. The second time they burned the crust again, so we explained to the waitress and they fixed another one. Burned again. We ordered the fetta cheese with sundried tomatoes, but another pizza with different ingredients was ordered at our table and that crust was fine. Did we get an apology, NO. Were we offered a no charge on the burned pizza, NO. I will NOT go back to Mellow Mushroom in Durham. Upon trying to contact the management later, no response. They just don't care!!
Best Pizza Ever – I have been looking for a great pizza place since moving to Raleigh 2 years ago, and I am happy to say that I have finally found one! Mellow Mushroom was not only the best pizza I have had in Raleigh, but it is the best pizza I have ever eaten. What a find!
They are always very busy, so it is hard to find a parking spot and it takes a while to get your food. However, it is well worth the wait.
Fave lunch spot – We have a Mellow Mushroom in Raleigh, so I was excited when one opened in Durham near my office. Me and my co-workers eat lunch there several times a week. Great salads and calzones! I always get the chef salad and house calzone and have not been disappointed yet. The veggies are always fresh and the Espranza salad dressing is sooo good! Lunch is busy, but the service is fast. Makes my lunch break much more enjoyable!
Best ballpark restaurant! – I go to a lot of Durham Bulls games, and the Mellow Mushroom is the best place to eat and hangout before or after the game. My friends and I eat dinner there before the games, and after the games we stop by for drinks on their patio. They are pretty busy on game days, but the food is worth it. Definitely my new favorite Durham hangout!
Awesome pizza! – I ate at the Mellow Mushroom this past weekend and it was the best pizza I've ever had! We sat outside and really enjoyed the patio area. Our service was quick and friendly and the food was delicious. We had the Funky Chicken pizza, which I highy recommend.
Another plus for Durham – Although I live in Raleigh I have been to the Mellow in Durham twice now. Once for lunch with clients and now before a Bulls game. Even though they were extremely busy during both my visits, the service and food was great. We sat outside both times and even though the patio is not as nice as Raleigh it is one of the best in Durham. It is definately an added bonus having the Mellow Mushroom next to the Bulls before and after the games.
User review by stickers – The pizza is unique--the calzones are tasty and the servers are ALWAYS friendly. There are toppings I have yet to find elsewhere-- like gorgonzola cheese or tempah. Yum. The calzones are HUGE so its better to share. The american tobacco distract is a really great location, and there is ample parking in the garage next door. They have a lot of outdoor seating as well.
Best Pizza in Durham! – Great pizza! Convenient to Durham Bulls Athletic Park. Restaurant was a bit hot, but food and service was good.
Cruddy pizza dough, slow service – Why can't a restaurant change ever make decent pizza? There's so much corn meal in their dough it's like eating pizza with sand in it! So far I've been there 3 times and each time it's taken well over 1/2 hour to get your pizza after ordering it.. A pizza takes 8 minutes max to cook! Definitely don't go if you have more than 4 people in your group....all of their tables are for 2 or 4 guest except 2.

Local clubs represented, in addition to the Wintersville Woman's Club, were the East Springfield Junior Woman's Club, the Woman's Club of Steubenville, the Woman's Club of Mingo Junction, the Woman's Club of Adena and the Upper Ohio Valley Junior Women's Club.
The 13-member Circleville Junior Women's Club was represented by Lisa Hedrick, who also serves as second vice president of the GFWC Ohio. Also in attendance was the Junior Women's Club of Barnesville.
Marjean Sizemore, Southeast District president and a member and officer with the Wintersville Woman's Club, called the day's events to order with Natalie Doty, second vice president of the Wintersville Woman's Club, leading in opening ceremonies.
Meeting Chairman Bonnie DiDomenico of the Wintersville Woman's Club offered the welcome; Deidre DeVore, SED junior director and president of the East Springfield club, the response; and Joan Martinez, SED secretary, the roll call.
A registration report by Claudia Dorich followed an Easter parade, and the day also included the election of Joan Martinez, a member of the Wintersville Woman's Club, and Sharon Cole-Isner as an alternate to serve on the GFWC/OFWC nominating committee.
Robbie Young gave the blessing for the luncheon.
Attendees were reminded of upcoming events, including:
It being Legislation Day, Gentile appropriately touched on legislative news in the Buckeye state, including the proposed $63.3 billion state budget bill.
While Gentile said he respects Gov. John Kasich's plan for Medicaid expansion, other provisions pose concerns, including expanding the state sales tax that would impact many everyday services from haircuts to entertainment tickets. It also includes a "dramatic increase," he said, in severance taxes related to the extraction of shale oil and natural gas. Regarding the latter, Gentile said he has prepared an amendment in the Senate to have 65 percent of that revenue stay in the communities of Southeast Ohio instead of going in the general fund to provide income tax reduction.
The budget bill is still in the early stages, Gentile emphasized.
The goal to reduce by 20 percent income tax across the board would benefit the average Ohioan only by $30 to $40 and falls short of encouraging economic growth, according to Gentile. He said he is disappointed in the education budget and what it means to school districts he represents, 29 of which got flat-funded and four saw modest increases. The funding formula is flawed, and work toward adequate funding is an ongoing issue, he said.
Gentile said he has introduced legislation that would help veterans ease into the workforce with academic credits acknowledged for their work, skills and specialized training in the military. Clean drinking water in communities where it is lacking also is a concern, cause for legislation to identify areas where it is not readily available.
Regarding the oil and gas industry, Gentile said he has proposed legislation that would require a report on the number of Ohio jobs created by the oil and gas industries with the first report anticipated in April.
Legislation Day wrapped up with the presentation of awards in six community service program areas.
Categories and winners were:
-- Signature Project For Domestic Violence Awareness: Upper Ohio Valley Junior Women's Club, Adena, Belpre and Wintersville.
-- Arts: Nelsonville, Circleville, Belpre, Wintersville; Ohio Valley Young Women's Club, juniorettes.
-- Conservation: Upper Ohio Valley Junior women's Club, Circleville, Belpre, Wintersville.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sasha Surprised I bought these for my husband. When he first felt them, he wasn't sure he would like them, since he usually wears cotton briefs. He loves them tho! He was really surprised how comfortable they were. Would highly recommend them. March 30, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by MomOf3 Best Boxers These are the only boxers that all 3 guys in our family will wear! They are soft, wash well and fit comfortably. I think they are expensive so I look for sales during the year. We still have several original pairs from 7 years ago and they are in fair shape, although the elastic band and hem has frayed in just a few of the pairs. That absolutely to be expected considering the many washings!! These really are great boxers! January 2, 2014

Historical Data
Minnesota, of course, is a Democratic stronghold, infamously "blue" and the only state to vote for native son Walter Mondale in the 1984 election. It has not voted for a Republican in the "modern era" (read: television) of politics.
However, this year's polls have showed that margin shrinking, as Republicans were given big news as recently as two weeks ago with polls showing Mitt Romney trailing incumbent President Barack Obama, a Democrat, by less than 3 points.
scroll up for results
Most polls, however, show Obama leading by at least 5 points, and have Minnesota again in the blue column.
U.S. Senate
So, too, is the state's U.S. Senate seat up for grabs in 2012. Sen. Amy Klobuchar is up for re-election, facing off with south suburban legislator Kurt Bills.
Polls, again, show this comfortably in the DFL hands, with Klobuchar boasting a lead of more than 20 points.
She won the seat in 2006 by 20 percentage points over Rep. Mark Kennedy, a Republican from the Sixth District.
Here is where Minnesota's political diversity, particularly that of the Twin Cities, shows up.
The state has typically had a divided representation in the U.S. House of Representatives, with suburban areas being Republican, and the elected officials with more urban centers showing up blue, or in the DFL column.
scroll up for results
Three Republicans - Rep. John Kline (District 2), Rep. Eric Paulson (District 3) and Rep. Michele Bachmann (District 6) are on the line tonight, and all are leading in their races by various margins.
Democratic incumbents Rep. Betty McCollum (District 4) and Rep. Keith Ellison (District 5) also have comfortable leads heading into Election Day.
The two tightest races feature Kline and Bachmann.
Kline is getting a stiff challenge from longtime DFL legislator Mike Obermueller.
The district, itself, was made a bit more "purple" thanks to redistricting, which took place earlier this year. West St. Paul and South St. Paul were added to District 2, bringing in DFL (traditionally) voters.
In District 6, business magnate Jim Graves, owner of the AmericInn Hotel chain and a St. Cloud native, is challenging Tea Party matriarch Rep. Michele Bachmann.
Graves is running down the middle, attempting to appease and relate to business owners like himself, yet alligning with DFL stances on the marriage amendment and so-called "Obamacare."
Bachmann, meanwhile, has a solid base in the northwest suburbs with her Christian conservative values and refusal to move the line on taxes.
State Amendments
Two Republican-endorsed amendments (both were passed by partisan votes in the Minnesota Legislature) appear on this year's ballot.
scroll up for results
Amendment 1: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to provide that only a union of one man and one woman shall be valid or recognized as a marriage in Minnesota?"
Amendment 2: "Shall the Minnesota Constitution be amended to require all voters to present valid photo identification to vote and to require the state to provide free identification to eligible voters, effective July 1, 2013?"
Polls show the vote split nearly even on the Marriage Amendement (No. 1), while the "Yes" vote is leading on the so-called Voter I.D. question.

When I first read Anne of Green Gables I thought Cordelia was pronounced cor-dell-ee-ah, but my school librarian corrected me. It took me awhile to get used to the real pronounciation but now I love it! I still pronounce Azalea az-uh-lay-ah, like my sister's friend does (that's where I first heard the name) though I've since been told it's uh-zay-lee-ah. I do like that pronounciation, just not as much- maybe because I'm not used to it?~Love names, literature, royals and horses~ <3

Girls: Azalea, Cordelia, Elizabeth, Rosalind, Portia, Victoria, Diana, Felicity, Juliet, Scarlett
Boys: Fitzwilliam, Sebastian, Percival, Prospero, Orlando, Darcy... don't love many boys' names!

So is it official? The AAC has fallen to the level of the MAC?
MAC announces creation of Bahamas Bowl, debuting in 2014
Get your passports ready because
Lizzie McGuire college football is going to the Bahamas.
(play this to set the mood)
The MAC announced Monday the creation of the Bahamas Bowl, a matchup against a rotating group of conferences (including the AAC, C-USA, Sun Belt and Mountain West) for the next six years starting in 2014. The first year of the bowl will feature a MAC team against an AAC team, then MAC vs. C-USA in 2015.
"It's symbolic of the growth of this conference in terms of the quality of what's on the field and what people in the industry think of what our teams are capable of," MAC Commissioner Jon Steinbrecher said. "Each year, our student athletes and our coaches continue to grind and grind to build this organization, so it's really been a collective effort of all involved to get us to this point."
This comes on the heels of the announcements of the Boca Raton Bowl and the Camellia Bowl in Montgomery, giving the MAC a minimum of five guaranteed bowl games through 2019.
"Last year was a great year," Bowling Green coach Dave Clawson said during the MAC teleconference Monday. "We got seven teams in bowls. But the reality of it is, if there weren't so many teams outside our conference that were ineligible to go to bowls, we wouldn't have gotten seven teams in. … Now if you take care of your own product, there's a very good chance you're going to go to a bowl. You're not dependent on other teams losing games to open up spots."
The game in Nassau, Bahamas, will be played at Thomas A. Robinson Stadium, which was renovated in 2011 and holds up to 30,000 people. Lea Miller, the tournament director for the Battle 4 Atlantis basketball tournament, was brought in to assist the process, and the teams and most of the fans will stay at the Atlantis resort.
The Bahamas Bowl and the Boca Raton Bowl might give way to coining the phrase "destination bowl game," where even if the pairings aren't the most intriguing, the opportunity to go somewhere warm and take a vacation with the bowl as an additional item on the itinerary makes for a fun winter trip.
While travel costs certainly are a concern, and the bowls are a lot harder to get to from the Midwest than say, traveling to Detroit, lots of people go to the Bahamas and to Florida in the winter anyway.
"We will be very aggressive in ways we have not been done before in terms of the packaging of the event in providing preset packages to that participating team," Steinbracher said. "It hopefully will manage the cost. It's not a particularly long flight quite frankly. We're here on the East Coast. If you're connecting through Miami, for example, you're less than 30 minutes from Miami. It's a shorter trip than going to the West Coast. I didn't realize until I had come out here a time or two. We're hopeful we can manage it in ways that will make it attractive. It will truly be for many of our kids a once in a lifetime opportunity."
Steinbrecher said the MAC will have more bowl announcements in the next 14 days and that the Bahamas Bowl will likely be before Christmas but that is still yet to be finalized.
I'm ultimately intrigued by the logistics of the Bahamas Bowl. Will the players take a cruise down there? How will the SIDs wrangle up all the passports when I have a tough enough time remembering mine to go to the Canada side of Niagara Falls? Will the primary bowl sponsor be Banana Boat® Sunscreen?
Oh my gosh on second thought, please please please make it the Banana Boat Bahamas Bowl.

Having had three girls previously, there will be many differences now that I have a son. The first and most obvious is that it is a new world when it comes to diaper changing, which I have already learned the hard way several times! There are a wide variety of preventative products that are available. What strategy do you use when changing baby boys so that you don't get soaked? Any assistance here would be greatly appreciated! --Chris, Strongmoms facilitator
with both of my boys i have used the extra wipe over the "equipment" and this at least helps it to not be sprayed directly on me. one morning i didn't get it covered, and my youngest proceeded to teach me never to do that again. it caused for a great laugh from my oldest and he remembered it the other day. it was even funnier that i was dressed for work and had to completely change my clothes (i work at a college so i was "dressed up") and i had to change his while he smiled. :) good luck!!
Lol-be quick, don't look away and be prepared! -Jess
There is a new product on the market called a pee pee tee-pee which is what it sounds like and is supposed to keep pee from flying through the air haha. I would like to know if anyone has tried them and what they thought.
I saw this product when I was working in the nursery. I'll have to admit that we all (Nurses) got a bit of a chuckle out of it. I think thats likely because it was focused on dealing with an OLD issue in a NEW way. Seemed to only work if baby stayed pretty still as well. Others?
I tend to put a clean diaper underneath the dirty one and when I wipe my boy, I just slip the dirty one out and can quickly pull the clean one over him. If he does start to pee, I just put the wipe over him. :-p
Awe, good technique Julie! -Jess
I agree with the others - Just be quick. I put a clean diaper underneath before I change him and then move quickly!

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"This invitation is absolutely amazing! The quality is perfect. I could not have asked for a more perfect invite to set the tone for our formal wedding! And the custom charcoal color came out to match perfectly!"
"If your names are long, there will be no problem fitting them on this invitation. You will love this. The paper quality is nice and thick. The thermography printing was beautiful and perfect. I am so glad that I ordered these invitations. I ordered eggplant and the color is very deep. Really pleased with everything at Wedding Paper Divas."
"This invite was the perfect one for our wedding. It's classy, but not overly formal or girly. The paper is sturdy and the print is a beautiful shade of black. I was worried it would be a little faded just because of the paper but it's not! Wedding Paper Divas was such an easy company to work with. I got my proof within 2 days, even over a holiday, and it was EXACTLY what I had asked for! I would definitely recommend this one!"
"I was a little nervous about what the quality of the foil stamping would be like but it was flawless. They were simple but a little flashy in a good way. Loved them! We also added the gold liner to the envelopes which I thought added a lot."
"I ordered the dark purple colored font, they looked classy and elegant for our wedding invites for a winery wedding, now I'm just wrapping them into heart shaped doily and a piece of lace ribbon to finish them beautifully."

My mother makes the world's best meatloaf, but it's as high in fat and calories as it is delicious, so as much as I like it, it doesn't fit into my diet.
